WBV-H Wafer Butterfly Valves - Hot Air

Check up to five results to perform an action.

Hauck Wafer Butterfly Valves are used to trim or control ambient or preheated air. The valve can be ordered with a hand lever or can be supplied with a lever and linkage for automatic control. When sizing wafer butterfly valves for automatic control, normal practice is to size for a valve differential pressure (Δp) of 10-20% of total available air pressure. When ordering, specify temperature service desired: ambient air to 400°F, or preheated air to1200°F.

Valves should be selected for maximum flow at no more than 70° open. Full ported wafer valves installed in lines of the same size offer increased flow for a fixed pressure drop up to 70° open. At greater openings, flow does not increase appreciably although pressure drop across the valve falls off rapidly. At 90° open, resistance is very low -pressure drop is practically zero.
